dry

perfect

 

if the summer could continue this cold and windy, it would be great. (for Malham) although it would suck for tanning and DWS...

[J_duds]

Could anyone with more experience of climbing at Malham forecast the weekend conditions for me?

Saturdays is forecasted to be sunny intervals, temps up to 19C, with a north easterly wind!  Which doesn’t sound promising for the south facing Cove (particularly the relatively shade less upper tier), will it be to hot and greasy?

Thanks
John

At a guess the Cove will be hotter than Venus. 19C and a Northerly wind blowing over the top will make for furnace like conditions. 

[J_duds]

Thanks Andy, I thought that might be the case, I just wanted to be sure I wasnt missing a Malham opportunity!  I'll look for the shade this saturday.
Cheers John

  but shouldnt she be on the DFB thread?

[Adam Lincoln]

Pretty much still all ok. (Sunday) Couldn't see any routes that you couldn't redpoint. Few holds on Cry Freedom wet but not show stoppers.

[Nike Air]

Anyone been today, wondering if the seepage is still holding back????

[Nike Air]

apparently left side pretty pretty seepy....

[highrepute]

Was there today. Seemed pretty wet to me, lots of water dripping down. Was wet patches on tremelo and Mescalito for sure because I wanted to try them. But I think some guys were trying GBH (something around there didnt properly look).

hows it been today?

[Stu Littlefair]

Was very wet today; lots of wet on all routes left of overnite.

mostly runoff though, so I imagine it will dry off quite quickly

[Tim Broughtonshaw]

thanks for the update stu. sounds like its wet, will dry out but then again its going to be hotter than the surface of the sun at malham tomorrow. kilnsey is wet and so is the peak   fuckin British weather dotn you just love it. 

[Jules L]

Has anyone been up in the last day or two? Was just wondering how the LHS is drying out?

Thanks!

Nicely Jules, plenty of seepage at the beginning of today yet dryed back well by the end. Predator looked good to go I reckon. I had 'a look' at the route to its right and that only had two wet holds on it. It should be good this week as long as you bring some skin so soft...

[Jules L]

Great, thanks for the update. Looks like I won't be able to get up until the weekend now so by then it should definitely be dry by the sounds of it.

[TobyD]

very wet today, mostly run off, but all left side soaking, waterfalls everywhere...

good adventure to be had negotiating the torrent, sorry path up to the cove, the gate at the bottom was half underwater, and the beck almost breaking banks into the village.

central usual stuff all climbable, however. as well as oak, ad curiously the groove, though not for long, i fear.

[TobyD]

as of sunday....

upper tier mostly all fine; very bottom of l'obsession bit damp.
groove / unjustified wet round bulge, otherwise fine.
centre ok as far as overnight
oak drying rapaidly
lots of wet around undercuts all over the left side, and very top of zoolook / gbh bit wet; having said that you could still climb quite a few routes, with tactics / beer towels.
Stunning evening conditions on the dry rock!

[TobyD]

more seepy today, and drizzly poor conditions. otherwise as above, but a bit worse

[Jules L]

anyone been up in the last day or so? Anything drying out?

Thanks.

[griffer]

Should be fairly good for this weekend, on thursday even yosemite wall had an ascent. I would say about 90% dry 

[maybe_si]

Any news on how its looking at the mo, am thinking of heading up there tomorrow

Cheers

 

[Tim Broughtonshaw]

Looks like a fair bit of rain due tomorrow and some over the weekend also. This being the case whats the current state of seepage prior to tomorrows potential deluge?

Should i bring my clipstick or fishing rod?


Cheers
